How old was the Fonz supposed to be? Was he the same age as Ritchie, Potsie, and Ralph or was he older?

View Full Version : How old was the Fonz? DaveTooner 07-06-2003, 05:01 PM How old was the Fonz supposed to be? Was he the same age as Ritchie, Potsie, and Ralph or was he older? Stormtracker TF 07-06-2003, 05:07 PM I'm guessing he was older, Like 18 or 19. Even though they never really mentioned his age. iluvfonzie 07-07-2003, 09:12 PM Fonzie was 2 years older than Richie, Potsie and Ralphie. Richie first met Fonzie when he was 15 and the Fonz was 17. MelWil7 07-08-2003, 12:37 AM I watched an interview one time where Henry Winkler said that Fonzie was susposed to be 19 when the series started. Moonlight Lady 07-08-2003, 12:58 PM 19..wow, He seemed older, Probably he was more worldly than Richie, Ralph and Potsie. Fonzies_Chick1945 07-08-2003, 02:47 PM YA HE WAS SUPPOST TO BE 19 BUT WHEN HE PLAYED THE PART OF FONZIE HE WAS 28 AND WHEN THAY STOPPED SHOTTING THE SHOW HE WAS 38 THATS PREETY OLD Brett Ferino 07-12-2003, 01:21 PM He was actually almost 39 by the time Happy Days got cancelled. FonzarellE 03-07-2004, 05:30 PM in one ep, didnt richie refer to the fonz, saying something abt "how many 30 year olds do you see---?" but it woudlnt make all that much sense for back then, a 30 year old with teen chicks. so that can be right. richheart 03-09-2004, 09:48 AM Ron Howard was 19 when the show started. His character was a few years younger. dickswift 03-09-2004, 01:35 PM I could be wrong but tv charaters age very awkward. Now I think Fonz had to be a little older then the gang by maybe 2 years max. Richie was a junior freshmen so a junior starting would be about what 16 years when the show established how they met in a flashback episode. Fonzie was in the Falcons and just as naive so, we could figure an adult wouldnt hang with any kid like that even in 1957 or just join and hang with a gang unless they "run things" which Fonzie didnt. If Fonz was 17 to 19. it is 3 max years older which is not all that off for youth to hang. All the same they would all be about 50 something today. happydaysgirl 03-15-2004, 04:48 PM I think the fonz was about 20 or 19 tiff7 05-21-2004, 03:34 PM Yes, Henry started the show when he was 29 (show began in 1974), so he was almost 40 when the show ended in 1984. (20 yrs) He's 56 now Tiff7 P.S. Have a gr8 summer y'all! :) Scott_Baios_Gurl 04-28-2005, 04:43 PM id say about 19 years old.hes 60 this year Classicshowsgurl15 04-28-2005, 07:10 PM Do you mean how old was he supposed to be on the show or how old he really was? tiff7 04-28-2005, 08:11 PM Henry was 28 in 1974 when HD started, not 19. In 1984 when HD ended. Henry was almost 40-eek! He's almost 60 now-eek again! Oh well, we all still luv our Fonzie don't we y'all! :) Tiff7 |
